VFX

In Week 3 Jon taught us about 2D tracking and techniques. i learnt that 2D tracking can do the following:
-It can track the 2D position of a small cluster of pixels
-It can attach this data to another layer or object.
However it can’t track if:
-If pixels are obscured by another project or motion blur
-Track the 3D Position of a cluster of pixels.

In the workshop Jon set us a task of 2d tracking 2 points and 4 points of  piece of footage.  When we first started this workshop, i thought i wasn’t going to enjoy it, however i surprised myself and by the end of it, it was something i wanted to consider when thinking of my career paths.

I learnt that 2D Tracking can make a piece of footage look a lot better, but also gives you the ability to work with a lot more within a project.

In Jons 2nd workshop is showed us how to match move, also known aa 3D tracking.In this workshop i learnt:
-It can track the position of a small cluster of pixels
-I can solve the 3D position of a small cluster of pixels
-It can reverse engineer camera movement, camera angle and lens angle.
-It cannot track pixels if they are obscured by another project or motion blur.

Jon set us a task of 3D tracking a piece of footage, i enjoyed this and found it easy and enjoyable. However when it comes towards the end of the task when we had to make the sinkhole look like it was actually in the road, i got a bit lost and a tad confused.
